Although Zhong Xiong knew that the human heart was sinister, he did not expect it to be so sinister.

If it wasn't for their help, the three of Fangran would not have escaped being played with.

But before he came, Heilongzhai had been doing evil locally for decades.

"Isn't Magnolia City nearby? Don't they care?"

Zhong Xiong asked, since it is also a city, even if Yulan City does not have cave-like strongmen, there can be a few strong men in the realm of heaven and man. It is not easy to deal with a Black Dragon Village with only a few Yin-Yang realms.

"It's good that they don't collude with those bandits in Heilongzhai!"

Fang Lan spoke angrily, because her shoulder was already healed, she waved her arms and said, "I heard from my father that Black Dragon Village was secretly supported by several families in Yulan City. The purpose is to let us leave the village and enter the city. Here Several of their families are servants and maidservants."

"As for the imperial city, sending people is only here to collect taxes, it's not as good as Yulan City!"

Zhong Xiong frowned and sighed secretly.

The Great Jin Kingdom has hundreds of cities, but it only includes martial arts masters into the imperial city, and the control over each city is not strong.

The governance of each place depends entirely on the power of the local city. Zhong Xiong thought of Gongsun Fei, who was very loved in Fenglei City, so he presumably managed well.

"Brother Zhong, Jinglan Village is ahead."

In Zhong Xiong's eyes, this village is not much different from the one near Fenglei City, but it is obviously behind, but the environment is relatively better.

"Our Jinglan Village used to be called Fang Village, so many people in the village had the surname Fang. Later, because many foreigners came in, we changed the name to Jinglan Village according to the stream next to the village."

Fangran pointed to a small stream not far away, and Zhong Xiong paused when he heard it.

"Fangcun? Is it such a coincidence?"

Zhong Xiong was a little taken aback, and when he was about to continue asking questions, he saw Fang Yu, a girl beside him, waving vigorously forward.

There were two figures in front of them, both of them were tall men. After seeing a few people, they hurried over.

"Fang Yu! And Fangran, Fang Lan, are you all right?"

One of the young men's tone was a little nervous: "I heard that the bandits from Heilongzhai are chasing you, haven't you met them?"

On the other hand, another middle-aged man showed vigilance. When Fangran saw it, he quickly said, "Second Uncle, we encountered bandits from Heilongzhai. It was this brother Zhong Xiong who rescued us."

"Yes, yes, Brother Zhong is so powerful, he took care of all those people in just a few strokes."

Fang Lan waved her little hand, staring at her eyes, she couldn't forget the scene of Zhong Xiong's attack before.

"So it is."

The young man nodded after hearing this, and said, "My name is Fang Shan, thank you Brother Zhong Xiong for saving them."

"You are Welcome."

Zhong Xiong nodded, and didn't care about the middle-aged man's scrutiny. He asked, "I heard from Fangran that Jinglan Village used to be called Fangcun. Are there other villages named Fangcun near Yulan City?"

Seeing the doubts of the other party, Zhong Xiong told the information about his mother and his purpose.

Of course, he lightly brought up the matter about the Zhong family, and didn't reveal too much, for fear of being found by people behind.

The middle-aged man fell into thought after hearing this, and finally said hesitantly: "Fang Jing, I have indeed heard this name before, and the village near Yulan City was called Fangcun before."

"Come into the village with us, and I'll help you find out."

The middle-aged man spoke, and the suspicion on his face disappeared a lot at this moment.

He saw that Zhong Xiong didn't look like he was talking, and the information he said could stand up to scrutiny. Although he still kept a little vigilance in his heart at the moment, he was not as cautious as before.

"Brother Zhong Xiong, something happened in our village recently, so Uncle Fang Qing is wary of outsiders, don't take it to heart."

Fangran explained from the side, Zhong Xiong nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.

He followed the crowd into the village, and found that the people in the village were dressed similarly to Fangran and the others. They were all dressed in animal skin clothes. They were obviously curious about Zhong Xiong, a stranger.

As for the village where his mother used to live, he didn't think deeply about it. He just took a few glances and then looked away. He followed Fang Shan and the others to an old house and met an old man.

"You said Fang Dashan and his family."

Hearing Zhong Xiong's message, the old man just recalled briefly, and then said: "They left early, and my daughter Xiaojing left the village after they left, it seems to be 30 years ago."

"You look a lot like Xiao Jing, but you're more like that stubborn guy Fang Dashan."

The old man leaned in front of Zhong Xiong, and finally said with some emotion: "That guy is really stubborn. He keeps talking about not allowing outsiders to decide Fangcun's affairs. If he is still alive now, he probably won't agree to the village's relocation."

"It's true that outsiders can't decide the affairs of the village, but they can't be treated as tribute either!"

It was the young man Fang Shan who said this. His tone was full of anger. When he wanted to say something, Fang Qing held him down.

"Thank you, old sir."

After learning about the situation of his mother's family, Zhong Xiong clasped his fists and opened his mouth, and a group of people left the house and went to the cemetery in the village.

Zhong Xiong took out the ashes from the storage ring, which shocked everyone.

"Is this a storage treasure? I only know that people from big families in the city have it. This is the first time I've seen it."

Fangran and the others all had shocked expressions. The storage treasures cost hundreds of taels of silver, which is difficult for ordinary warriors to afford, let alone the people in the village, who have only heard of it.

Zhong Xiong didn't explain too much, buried his mother properly, and left here after offering incense and offering sacrifices.

"Brother Zhong, it's getting late, why don't you just rest in our village for the night?"

"is it okay?"

Zhong Xiong looked at the gradually darkening sky and hesitated as it was not suitable for him to continue on his way.

"Okay, Sister Fang Jing's house is still there, and you can live in it after cleaning."

Fang Qing opened his mouth, and after confirming Zhong Xiong's identity, the last trace of doubt in his heart disappeared, and his tone was much gentler now.

"Let's help too."

For Zhong Xiong to stay, several girls in Fangran showed obvious excitement and asked to help clean up with them.

Soon Zhong Xiong and others were taken to a house, and by the time the cleaning was finished, it was already dark, and the two girls, Fang Lan and Fang Yu, also bid farewell and went back.

"Brother Zhong, come to my house for dinner, my parents want to thank you."

Fangran opened her mouth to invite, and the thank you she said was naturally because of Zhong Xiong's rescue of them.

Zhong Xiong didn't refuse this point, and went out of the house with her.

When he went out, he found that many men and women in the village had come out, holding weapons in their hands and looking vigilant.

On the street, there are still two groups of people confronting each other, arguing constantly with each other.

"The bandits from Heilongzhai are coming soon. Those of you who want to stay, just hand over yourselves as tributes."
